Way back in September 2007, before she was President-elect Obama's nominee for Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton sat down for an interview with Yahoo News. She was expecting an interview with Charlie Rose. To her surprise Rose punted to comedian Bill Maher, who asked her about her Iraq War vote: "George Bush fooled you; why should Americans vote for someone who can be fooled by George Bush?"
Hillary wasn't the only politician in 2008 to get an off-the-wall question during a Yahoo interview. Every major presidential candidate and even the current president took a turn in the Yahoo! interview seat for a set of questions that only Yahoo could ask.
From George Bush's Dr. Evil impression to Barack Obama's views on the church to John McCain forgoing computers, Yahoo asked questions that reminded us politicians are people too (A sense of humor matters, don't you think?)
Below we present the best of Yahoo's original interviews for 2008, including moments with George Bush, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Condoleezza Rice.
